No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images
Capitalism is about creating a bigger pie.
Politics is about more fairly distrubting the pie. Don't mistake failings of politics as failings of capitalism.
America once had a income tax of 90% for the highest tax bracket. Just because it is low now isn't due to capitalism
You should read these posts by the creators of Lemmy
First points out that lemmy.ml is not the flagship. Second goes through that lemmy was not intended to be left, but was intended to just not be US focused. I am okay with that but if the suggestion is that Lemmy needs to maintain leftist ideologies throughout the FOSS communities then that's just wrong. If I get proven wrong and you can prove that these communities need to be leftist anti capitalist then I would be happy to close my Lemmy account asap.
The only thing we need to do is donate a tiny portion of our money to independent media that fights the system such as Badempanada or GDF etc.
